External power supply PSEapproved Footnotes: Specifications are subject to change without notice 1. The On/Off ratio for the E3 image intensifier in the UV with MCP gating is typically Figures are typical unless otherwise stated. 3. Typical photocathode Quantum Efficiency and standard quartz input window transmission as measured by the tube manufacturer. MgF 2 window allows extended operation down to 120 nm. 4. Typical resolution of the image intensifier tube only, not the overall resolution of the system. As a rough guide, the smallest resolvable FWHM feature will be approximately 2x the CCD pixel size. This is a very important consideration for optical resolution calculations in spectrographbased systems. 5. Gen 2 High QE (H) option Photocathode QE is inherently linked to the gating speed of the intensifier. High QE option (H) offers higher peak QE than Ultrafast (U) or Fast (F) intensifiers, while exhibiting minimum gating speed one order of magnitude slower. 6. Actual measured minimum optical gating of the photocathode, reflecting not only the electrical pulse width applied to the photocathode but also its inherent irising time. 7. Gain is softwareselectable through a 12bit DAC and varies exponentially with DAC setting. Value refers to the ratio of max to min intensifier gain as measured for individual cameras. Actual optical gain (counts/photoe ) for a DAC setting is accessed by the multiplication of the relative gain (at that DAC value) by the minimum system gain (at DAC = 0, CCD e /photoe ) and divided by the sensitivity (CCD e /count) at a given CCD PAG. Sensitivities are individually measured and reported for each system. 8. Combination of 73 GaAsP photocathode with a lumogencoated fibreoptic plate and protective MgF 2 window. The latter additional optical interfaces are the reason for the lowered QE in the visible NIR region, for the C3 model. 9. Measured for the entire system. Combination of CCD readout noise and A/D noise measurement is for single pixel readout with 30 C CCD cooling and at minimum exposure time under dark conditions. Values quoted are measured with highest available PAG setting.. Linearity is measured from a plot of counts vs exposure time under constant photon flux up to the saturation point of the system.
